Leave your thoughts about Austin Found.
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleFunny and disturbing in the best way, the comedy-drama Austin Found captures something beyond its story of a woman’s obsession with making her little daughter a beauty pageant winner. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt's not a stunning achievement from Raee, but "Austin Found" impresses is small doses, securing the atmosphere of dark comedy without falling apart. |
| Film Journal InternationalAndré HerefordA bumpy ride to Coen country, the kidnapping caper Austin Found squanders a dialed-in Linda Cardellini performance on a barren premise. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsLinda Cardellini can play just about anything, with honesty and delicacy, so it's no surprise she makes even a semi-sweet nothing like Austin Found worth a look. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshThe cast is rounded out with likable comedians, but this fable can’t decide if it’s going to be deliciously bad or morally upstanding. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyAustin Found features a great ensemble cast, but never manages to explore unique territory. |
| Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweWill Raee's feature wrings a few laughs from a strained premise, but remains far better suited to short-attention span formats than theatrical play. |
| Tribune News ServiceRick BentleyIt's one of the better movies about murder, manipulation and celebrity since Gus Van Sant's 1995 feature To Die For. |
| The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe cast is surely capable of sharper comedy, but Will Raee, who directed, doesn’t get everyone on the same page. Ms. Cardellini and Ms. Schaal offer cardboard caricatures, while Mr. Ulrich, among others, plays it mostly straight. |
| Slant MagazineDerek SmithThe conspicuous means by which Will Raee stacks the deck against Leanne, the real victim of this story, is matched only by a moral grandstanding that seeks to condemn rather than understand the character’s decisions. |
